INSTRUCTIONS TO THE
APPLIANCE OWNER
For Your Safety, Read Before Lighting
WARNING
Fire or Explosion Hazard.
Can cause property damage, severe injury or death.
If you do not exactly follow the warning below and the
lighting instructions, a fire or explosion can result in
property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
1. Before lighting, smell all around the appliance area
for gas. If the appliance uses LP (bottled) gas, also
be sure to smell next to the floor because LP gas is
heavier than air. If you smell gas, immediately shut
off the manual valve in the gas piping to the
appliance, or ON LP SYSTEM, AT THE TANK. Do not
try to light any appliance. Do not touch any
electrical switch or use the phone. LEAVE THE
BUILDING and call your gas supplier. If your gas
supplier cannot be reached, call the fire department.
2. Do not force the gas control knob on the appliance.
Use only your hand to push down the reset button or
turn the gas control knob. Never use any tools. If the
knob or reset button will not operate by hand,
replace the control using a qualified service
technician. Force or attempted repair can result in
fire or explosion.
3. Replace the gas control if it has been flooded with
water. Call a qualified service technician.
4. If the red reset button stays depressed after it is
released, replace the gas control.
5. The gas control is a safety device. It must be
replaced in event of any physical damage such as
bent terminals, missing or broken parts, stripped
threads, or evidence of exposure to heat.
IMPORTANT
Follow the operating instructions provided by the
manufacturer of your heating appliance. Use the
